Ixeris is a performance optimization mod designed to tackle noticeable FPS drops that occur during gameplay, especially when moving the mouse. The core issue it addresses stems from inefficiencies in the game's native code for event polling and the overhead associated with JNI upcalls. These factors unnecessarily consume CPU resources that could otherwise be dedicated to rendering, leading to a degraded visual experience. This problem is particularly pronounced on Windows systems, and even more so when utilizing a mouse with a high polling rate. Ixeris aims to resolve this by fundamentally altering how the game handles input and rendering processes, ensuring a smoother and more responsive gaming session for players experiencing these performance bottlenecks. The mod achieves its performance improvements through two primary mechanisms. Firstly, it implements threaded event polling, separating the tasks of event handling and rendering. Instead of both processes competing for resources on the same thread, Ixeris directs event polling to the main thread while offloading rendering to a dedicated render thread. This division of labor significantly reduces contention and allows for more efficient resource allocation. Secondly, for Windows users, Ixeris introduces buffered raw input. This feature replaces the less efficient method of polling individual input events with a batched approach, reading raw input messages in larger chunks. By consolidating these operations and performing them within Java code, the mod also eliminates the overhead of JNI upcalls, further optimizing CPU usage and contributing to a substantial increase in frames per second. Ixeris is designed for broad compatibility across various mod loaders and Minecraft versions. It officially supports Fabric, Forge, Neoforge, and Quilt loaders. The mod is compatible with Minecraft versions including 26.2-rc-1, 26.2-rc-2, 26.2, 26.3-snapshot-1, 26.3-snapshot-2, 26.3-snapshot-4, 26.3-snapshot-5, and 26.3-snapshot-6. It is important to note that Ixeris is a client-side mod, meaning it is required on the player's client. While it is unsupported on the server, installing it on the client is crucial for experiencing the performance benefits. Ensure that your Minecraft installation and chosen mod loader are among the supported versions before proceeding with the installation to guarantee optimal functionality and avoid potential conflicts. Installing Ixeris is a straightforward process, dependent on the mod loader you are using. For Fabric, Forge, Neoforge, or Quilt, you will need to place the Ixeris mod file directly into the 'mods' folder within your Minecraft installation directory. Before launching the game, it is essential to verify that you have the correct version of the mod installed for your specific Minecraft version and mod loader. Additionally, confirm that your game is running with the chosen mod loader properly configured. Checking for any known conflicts with other installed mods is also a recommended step to ensure a stable and smooth gameplay experience. Once these checks are complete, you can launch Minecraft to enjoy the performance enhancements provided by Ixeris.
